“Højlund, Antony, and Mount Changed the Game”- Amorim Praises Trio After Man United’s Win
Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, praised his key players after their comeback victory against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Red Devils managed to secure a 2-1 win at the Doosan Arena, having trailed early in the match.
Rasmus Højlund, who has shown flashes of his potential since his move to United, played a decisive role by scoring both goals.
The Danish striker demonstrated composure and clinical finishing, proving why the club invested heavily in him over the summer.
His goals were a turning point for United, who were under pressure after a shaky start.
However, it wasn’t just Højlund who caught Amorim’s attention.
The Portuguese manager also singled out Antony and Mason Mount for their impact on the game.
Antony, who has faced criticism in recent months for inconsistent performances, delivered a sharp and energetic display.
His ability to drive at defenders and create space gave United much-needed momentum on the right flank.
Mason Mount, who joined United from Chelsea, also stepped up.
His work rate, quick passing, and intelligence in the midfield helped steady the team and unlock opportunities for the attack.
Despite a challenging start to his United career due to injuries, Mount’s performance showed glimpses of why he remains highly rated.
In his post-match comments, Amorim expressed satisfaction with the trio’s efforts.
“Højlund was exceptional, but Antony and Mason Mount also made a huge difference,” he said, as quoted by journalist Fabrizio Romano.
“They’re here to deliver in these moments, and they did exactly that. I’m delighted with their contributions and their desire to win.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
